Do people? I don’t know.

Should we? Definitely (CDC).

This looks great.

Suggestion: a step-by-step “howto” with an example or three to make it more useful for beginners.

This is the juicy bit:

Roughly one in two Americans said they are not very or not at all exposed to environmental and climate change risks. Those perceptions contrast sharply with empirical evidence showing that climate change is having an impact in nearly every corner of the United States. A warming planet has intensified hurricanes battering coasts, droughts striking middle American farms and wildfires threatening homes and air quality across the country. And climate shocks are driving up prices of some food, like chocolate and olive oil, and consumer goods.

Americans also largely believe they do not bear responsibility for global environmental problems. Only about 15 percent of U.S. respondents said that high- and middle-income Americans share responsibility for climate change and natural destruction. Instead, they attribute the most blame to businesses and governments of wealthy countries.

TBF, I wonder if that’s limited to Americans.

Always good to see evidence of us being governed by wise, self-controlled people who only have the good of the population at heart. 🤗

The general public isn’t just the US, though.

This article does not encourage urgency at all. Reading this gives me the impression that we still have 100 years - if anything happens at all.

When it might happen: It could already be underway.

When it might happen: The timing will vary place to place. The effects on global warming could accumulate over a century or more.

… and so on.

But for these particular problems that might be true. Let’s see who will be around to witness all these maybes.

July also represents the first time in a year that a month had been less than 1.5° C above preindustrial temperatures

Phew. Dodged that one. So it’s not so serious after all. /s

Eternity just released a new version. 🤩

Good catch. I will keep an eye out for it. Let’s see what the dev does with that and how much dedication will go into it.

It definitely had potential. Was my main driver for Lemmy. It had the best layout of posts, modern and sleek handling, etc. Markdown worked just fine for me. The minor bugs I noticed didn’t bother me much. Am sad to see it implode like this… hope the dev will change his mind or someone will pick up the pieces.

I always keep Jerboa on as well. A solid “alternative” (1) and the client most unlikely to get abandoned.

1. it is the original client and is still actively developed

That’s concerning. I’m typing this through Raccoon right now. Awesome client.

…pandemics, nuclear war, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, cyber warfare, antibiotic resistance, political instability…

Spoiled for choice here.

That’s still more than 10 years from now!

Let’s cross that bridge when we get there, what do you say? We have bigger fish to fry than worry about something more than a decade away.

That’s a bit nitpicky, of course.

Cigarette companies. That’s a pest no one who wants a clean future would miss.

I’ve seen this movie…

Fair enough. They still don’t know what >7% of people are using, though.

Thanks. So what is measured is merely the browsers people are using? Then I can see why the metrics are more general ballparks than precise measurements, seeing that the user agent can be modified with ease.

How do I hide which OS I am using? What is behind the high Unknown number?
